Hi there,
Ok I'm rather very disappointed with this costly project I've done to my car, let me explain what I've done to my 2 litre 8v in order...
4-1 branches
57mm stainless steel free flow exhaust
Simota cone air filter (cold air induction)
Complete service
Gas flowed + port matched the head
272 estas billet cam + vernier pulley
UniQ chip + dyno tuned
Result.... A poor 91kw (123.7hp) at wheels :sad2: :embarrest:
The car drives pretty much exactly the same as it did before I even did these mods, if anything a bit smoother on acceleration but no noticeable power difference and idles a tad rough because of cam. The guy who did my head even said himself that something not right with that result. All he can recommend is getting my fuel supply checked out. He's well known around cape town (mike dixon) if anyone from cape town reads this.
What is also bothering me is that this car is rated 85kw (115.6hp) standard, before they put the chip on it showed 84kw on dyno with everything else done. Something is not rite here most definately...
Now I guess its a case of check this and check that, there was no report of anything looking odd or not right when the mechanic was stripping everything I was there when he did it. Anyhow I'm quite long faced at the moment, hoping someone will come along and make me smile with a helpful/experienced suggestion :sad2:
